Lisa Swansey Landscape Architecture

A neighbor on r/CapeCod recommended Lisa Swansey Landscape Architecture in a January 2024 post, describing the practice as personable, easy to work with, professional and a smart designer. The practice is based in South Dennis, and its Houzz profile puts 26 Cape Cod towns and villages in its service area. What it sells is design: landscape and garden design, landscape plans, hardscaping, patio and pool design, custom fire pits and water features, outdoor lighting, deck design, site planning, drafting and project management. Five portfolio projects are posted there, and the profile cites more than 20 years in the industry. Houzz also lists licence number 1232 — worth checking against the state register for landscape architects before you sign anything. This is the right call for a homeowner who wants a drawn plan for the yard: a patio and pool surround, a lighting scheme, planting a builder can work from. Ask what the design fee covers, whether installation is managed or handed off to a separate contractor, and confirm licensing and insurance up front.
